<DIV><BR>Sea cucumber fishing is not a traditional activity; however, a large
number<BR>of coastal communities have developed a strong dependency on it as
an<BR>alternative source of income. This paper reviews the worldwide
population<BR>status, fishery, trade and management of sea cucumbers five
regions, covering<BR>known sea cucumber fishing grounds: temperate areas of the
Northern<BR>Hemisphere; Latin America and the Caribbean; Africa and the Indian
Ocean;<BR>Asia; and the Western Central Pacific. Together, the case studies
provide a<BR>comprehensive and up-to-date evaluation of the global status of sea
cucumber,<BR>constituting an important information source for researchers,
managers,<BR>policy-makers and regional/international organizations interested
in sea<BR>cucumber conservation and exploitation.</DIV>
